Sadly not but it looks to be in fantastic condition and a worth while purchase with all the extra's it comes with.  Have you had a mk1 before, know what to look out for etc?

Check around where the rear axle mounts for rust if it has been standing, can be hard to sort if bad.

I'm sure it will be fine, unless it's a rot box which it doesn't appear to be, you can't go wrong.... get it home, get a project thread on here and get it on the road, enjoy!  :cool:
